How to use another, other, and others

It's been a while to not posting on my blog. In this time, I am going to write about the determiner of "another, other, and others". I got these questions few months ago yet I didn't have time to post to. Okay, let us talk "another". This determiner is usually used with singular noun. It has two meanings, first is "something else (not specific), different from this". Let see the example below:

Example: One person's secret is another person's secret.

The second meaning is "one more, extra or additional".
Example: I want another hat.
              Please give me another job.

As I stated above that "another" can be used only with singular noun. Meanwhile, "other" has also meaning of "different". It is used with plural noun.

Example: There are other people standing over there.


The rule of "other" is used when you only have two choices and you need to say "not this, but that".

Example: "The fruit store is placed on the other side of this street". (Means that the store is not at this street but at that street)

If you still get confused, try analyze these examples of "another" and "other".

There are a lot of books on the table. I don't like this book, give me another one.
There are only two books on the table. I don't like this book, give me the other one.

Another and other can be used to replace adjectives, but others only replace plural nouns. Look at these examples below:

Example: There are some students speaking English. others are speaking Bahasa.
There are five hats in my bag. Two are here. Where are the others?
